Ownership & Condition
This car has covered only around 12, 000 miles in my 5 years of ownership, always as a fair-weather, second car. I’m a long-time BMW enthusiast and have carried out the majority of servicing and maintenance myself.
As you’d expect from a 22-year-old car, it isn’t perfect, but it’s a very fine example of the E46 330Ci Sport, with tasteful, period-correct OEM+ modifications that enhance the driving experience without spoiling originality.
Wheels – generally very good; a couple of minor scuffs/ kerb marks if you’re being picky.
Paintwork – front bumper resprayed last year to tidy up scuffs. Rear bumper has a light mark worth addressing, and a professional polish would bring the whole car up to A1 presentation.
Exhaust – stainless steel back box with a subtle, sporty growl that suits the car perfectly.
Interior
Finished in beige leather with light walnut trim – a classic, luxurious BMW combination. The Android Auto head unit with Google Maps and Spotify integration brings it right up to date for 2025 driving. I’ve also installed an OEM-style app so when you’re not using your phone, the display mimics BMW’s original on-board computer.
Final Notes
I’ll be adding more photos (including interior shots) over the weekend. For its age, this isn’t a concours car, but it is a very well-kept, enthusiast-owned example with excellent options, rare extras, tasteful modifications, and – in my opinion – the best colour combination.
Thanks for reading, and congrats if you made it this far – fellow old-skool BMW lovers will know exactly what this car represents.
